Play Continues

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Alexandr Merzhvinskii raised to 625,000 from the small blind and Artem Kobylynskyi called in the big blind.

They both checked through the {5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{a-Clubs} on the flop to the {j-Spades} on the turn. Merzhvinskii bet 750,000 and Kobylynskyi called.

The river completed the board with the {10-Clubs} and they both checked again to see the pot awarded to Merzhvinskii with {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

The full details of the deal will come as soon as they have been received.

Misclick War

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Artem Kobylinskiy
Artem Kobylinskiy

Artem Kobylynskyi opened for 400,000 on the button and Paul Michaelis made it 800,000 in the small blind. Kobylynskyi made it 1.3 million and Michaelis jammed, earning a quick fold. The reason for the strange action quickly became apparent.

"That was not on purpose," Michaelis said with a smile, pointing at his bet.

"I wanted to call," Kobylynskyi said in response.

Each player had misclicked, possibly due to the newly introduced T500,000 chips.

"I had a very strong hand," Michaelis said with a chuckle. "Ace-king. Strange."

He turned to Alexandr Merzhvinskii.

"Good opportunity for you," he added with a laugh.

Merzhvinskii Wins Some More

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Alexandr Merzhvinskii raised to 400,000 from the button and Paul Michaelis called in the big blind.

They both checked through the {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop to the {j-Diamonds} on the turn. Michaelis check-called the 475,000 bet of Merzhvinskii.

The river completed the board with the {k-Spades}, Michaelis checked and Merzhvinskii continued with a bet of 1,350,000. Michaelis tanked, using two time bank cards, and then made the call but mucked when Merzhvinskii tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for the rivered pair of kings.

Artem Kobylynskyi and Paul Michaelis saw a {9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop for the minimum. Kobylynskyi check-called 250,000. On the {8-Hearts} turn, he check-called 950,000. The river was a {6-Hearts} and Kobylynskyi checked a final time. Michaelis fired in 3.8 million. Kobylynskyi called after briefly thinking and Michaelis quickly tabled {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for the flopped nuts.

"Come on!" he said to his railbirds.

Laurynas Levinskas Eliminated in 4th Place (�316,000)

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Laurynas Levinskas
Laurynas Levinskas

Laurynas Levinskas opened for 400,000 under the gun and Alexandr Merzhvinskii defended big blind. Merzhvinskii checked the {q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop and Levinskas bet 300,000. Merzhvinskii craned to get a look at Levinskas' remaining stack then announced all in, earning a quick fold.

The next hand, Paul Michaelis raised on the button to 425,000 and Levinskas defended. Action checked through on the flop for a {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} board. Levinskas checked again and Michaelis put in 400,000. Levinskas shoved for about 1.8 million and the German was in there with a snap-call.

Paul Michaelis: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Laurynas Levinskas: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}

Levinskas' top pair was stone dead against the turned set and he sighed and wished everyone good luck.

After the hand, the prospect of a deal was again brought up but it was shut down in a hurry when Michaelis and Merzhvinskii argued whether short stacks benefited or didn't from ICM.

Alexandr Merzhvinskii: {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for them to split the pot.
